Good standing means you have already registered your MCANJ Membership for the current fiscal year. If you have not done so, you will be unable to register for LDF until that is completed. The database will check the status of your MCANJ membership when you complete the online LDF application and will redirect you to the MCANJ membership application if you have not already registered or submitted payment. The LDF was established by MCANJ to financially assist Municipal Clerks when actions have been taken against them in the performance of their official duties. With initial membership costing $75.00, and annual renewals costing $25.00, the LDF could prove to be your most valuable insurance coverage if needed. LDF membership is open to Municipal Clerks, Acting Municipal Clerks, Deputy Municipal Clerks, Freeholder Clerks and Deputy Freeholder Clerks. Applications for Renewals must be accompanied by a personal check in the amount of $25, and mailed to the Executive Director, Joel Popkin, 88 Inskip Ave, Ocean Grove, NJ 07756,for receipt on or before November 1, 2022.
